My take on Mommy Wars

It’s sad that there is even a term popularly used for such bullshit. Working mom vs. stay at home mom, breastfeeding vs. formula feeding, home schooling vs. public schooling vs. private schooling vs. unschooling, cloth diapers vs. disposables, med free birth vs. epidural vs. c-section, I could go on and on.
As has been said by [...]

Memos From Mommy, Sponsored by Sunshine Diapers

This week’s Memos are coming at you thanks to Rhea over at Sunshine Diapers.

Behold! The wine juice box!

Behold! The wine juice box!

Sorry to leave you folks hanging. I had a hot date with Satan this morning and had to run 7 miles in 250 degree weather with 1000% humidity.  Now that I’m coming close to rehydration (thank you Sangria and a cup or two of water) and I got a good afternoon nap in (THANK YOU, [...]

Tiny Paparazzi – I haz one.

Modesty? What’s modesty? I lost that the minute I striped naked in front of a room full of people and began writhing around in a bathtub, moaning in pain and then screaming from the torture of back labor in bed.  I’m pretty sure I pushed it right out of me, along with Kendall and whatever [...]

The age of defiance is upon us

And, frankly, I don’t know what to do. He’s 14 months old.  In many respects he still seems like a baby. In many others he seems like he’s one step away from snatching the keys to the car from my hand and flying out the door before I even have time to shout, “don’t do [...]

I can’t lie. This blogging gig ain’t bad, especially when companies like Pangea Organics send me a Radiance Gift Set to try out and then agrees to give one away to a very lucky BabyRabies.com reader to enjoy. This stuff is niiiiiiice!  I’ve been using the facial cleanser, lip balm and eye cream every day [...]

Yay! Errr...kinda. (Starbucks progress report)

Yay! Errr…kinda. (Starbucks progress report)

Got an email last week from Dottie, the District Manager I’ve been dealing with to get the changing tables installed in my local Starbucks. She informed me that three locations near me should have them installed by the end of the week! So we took a little family trip up the road tonight to see [...]

Just a little shout out

Just a little shout out

Kendall pooped in the tub again tonight. I don’t know what it is lately. It’s like a game. He’s trying to poop in as many places other than his diaper. I think it’s some form of early rebellion, but it’s possible he was just so relaxed by the calming bubble bath we gave him with [...]

The second cutting of the umbilical cord

The past two weeks have been pretty big around here.  It seems once Kendall’s mind and body mastered the art of walking it freed up a hell of a lot of brain space to learn things like words and body parts, and he even started spitting back some of those freaking baby signs I’ve been [...]

Well, I’m back. So sorry to have abandoned you all last week. Blogging from hotels just never seems to work out for me.  But, I vow to be more productive this week!
Memos From Mommy this week is brought to you by a fabulous gal by the name of Maureen Lipinski and her new book, A [...]
